I have three ways of dealing with this. Which do you prefer?
Option 4:
>>> func(1) == {'a': 1, 'b': 2, 'c': 3}
True
Alas, in reality func takes anything up to six arguments, at least one of
which will be a moderately long sequence requiring two lines:
>>> func([('a', 1), ('bb', 2), ('ccc', 4), ('dddd', 8)],
... ('eee', 16), ('ff', 32), ('g', 64)], ...
and the output is similarly long. So making it a one-liner isn't
generally practical.
If you're in Python 3 there's a DocTest.OutputChecker class. Maybe it's
possible to subclass this in some doctest utility and use that to catch
unsorted dicts?
I speak freely here, as one who hasn't tried this.
But I'm just starting with doctest myself, so I'm interested.
